No Canadian teams in the 2nd round, but the Sens make it close with a thriller and the Kings pull off a colossal upset being shut down by the goaltending of Jonathan Quick. The two "weak" division winners both crash and burn, Phoenix will be distracted by relocation talk again and Florida is no match for New Jersey.

Still rooting for Boston, but I grabbed LA and the Rangers in my playoff pool. I obviously don't like my chances with LA too much, so I'm really rooting for New York as well. I get my money back if they make it to the Conference finals, where they'll hopefully meet Boston. At that point, its a win-win for me. Either my team goes further or I make more money. Lets see Boston and NY in the Eastern Conference finals!

Your envy is unbecoming and won't help your city or hockey team. Some Edmontonians should move forward and focus on something more positive for themselves.

When you win something, you MIGHT have something to brag about... until then, you're not better than Ottawa or Edmonton or Calgary in the last decade.

and I don't recall either of Edmonton, Ottawa, or Calgary going on and on about how we should cheer for them because "they are Canada's team" or what ever constant drivel comes from Canuck fans and their media....
